The just released article below is kind of dryly written …. all scientifical, and stuff. But, that gives it more credibility. Right?
I only recently became aware of Magnesium … its extreme importance to the human body …. how virtually all Americans are magnesium-depleted and the dangers thereof …. and, like Heinz ketchup, magnesium oil cures at least 57 human ailments. Let me briefly tell you my story.
For about the past year and a half I have had a CONSTANT tingling in my left foot. It must be genetic. My mother had the same thing happen to her at the same age. Now, 20 years later both her feet are always swollen and give her pain. I have zero pain. Yet. But the tingling is there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Extensive age spots also cover the foot … those same brown spots old people get.
About 10 days ago I started applying Magnesium oil, sprayed directly on Mr. Left Foot, and then massaged for about 5 minutes into the skin. I do this 3 times a day. The results? The tingling is almost totally gone. It’s there only in the morning, and it goes away later in the day once the magnesium oil is applied. The brown spots? 75% gone!! All in 10 days. Simply the most amazing thing my body has ever encountered. (Well, not counting the hooker I met while stationed in Greece.) Best purchase I ever made in my life.
A BETTER BOOK
For easier-to-read stuff, please check out this link TeresaE sent to me; “Transdermal Magnesium Therapy: … (Her story regarding magnesium is also amazing.)
MAGNESIUM SOURCES
My own extensive googling has narrowed my Magnesium Oil sources to the following two;
1)- HTTPS://WWW.SWANSONVITAMINS.COM/LIFE-FLO-PURE-MAGNESIUM-OIL-8-FL-OZ-LIQUID
Brands other than Swanson supply this. The important data point is that the actual source of the oil comes from the ancient Zechstein seabed in the Netherlands, several thousand feet underground. It is a concentrated solution …. 100% pure …. nothing added and nothing removed.
2)- http://www.magnesoothe.com/
They make the same claim as to purity as above. It comes from the Dead Sea. Where they may be different is that magnesoothe published lab analysis of their product contents, and it may contain more trace elements.
So, I bought both and alternate days.
===========================================================
ASTRONAUT RESEARCH POINTS TO THE ANTI-AGING PROPERTIES OF MAGNESIUM
(NaturalNews) For decades, we have had empirical evidence of pathological conditions associated with accelerated aging: from vibroacoustic disorder in train engine drivers to ‘burn-out syndrome’ and radiation exposure in aviation pilots. Over the past 5 years, however, the space medicine community has elucidated vital implications for preventing diseases and enhancing quality of life and longevity in the community as a whole.
Numerous studies researching processes associated with accelerated aging in space have pointed to magnesium for controlling damage done to the kidneys and heart by increased sympathetic nervous system activity. Magnesium is required to synthesize and release kidney atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP); in the extremities of space, a reduction of ANP is seen following elevation of norepinephrine, angiotensin, and aldosterone.
Applying magnesium protects the kidneys from the sympathetic nervous system as well as the heart from the associated hypertension or high blood pressure. Researchers are suggesting that spaceflight and gravity-induced conditions are not just convergent with aging research for normal individuals on Earth, but entirely parallel.
Mitochondria stressed by magnesium deficiency
NASA and ISS laboratories have observed evidence that cellular senescence is linked with stress-induced changes in blood pressure. This potentially circumvents the relaxation response by causing the stress hormone, epinephrine, to induce mobilization of magnesium and subsequently deplete its available stores. Magnesium is also shown to be significantly depleted after space flights.
Magnesium is the second most abundant cation in cells besides potassium. Serum magnesium deficiency occurs when levels go below 1.7 mg per deciliter. While some 60% of Americans do not consume enough magnesium to reach measurably healthy blood serum levels, the same percent may have unmeasurable magnesium deficiency inside of red blood cells.
Magnesium is shown to regulate over 300 enzymes as well as directly stabilizing DNA. Additionally, magnesium promotes a person’s ability to relax. Paradoxically, however, it takes energy to manually relax; this is achieved by magnesium providing the building block for the energy currency, ATP, in mitochondria of the cells. The relaxation response (RR) relies on having the energy to shut down several brain regions, such as the amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex, and lateral habenula, which would be activated from the stress, and to manually shift the energy to a part of the brainstem called the globus pallidus that projects to the lateral habenula and determines whether it allows the reward center, the nucleus accumbens, to receive its dopamine reward.
Calming down is a reward for mitochondria, because inside of the nucleus accumbens neurons are mitochondria trying to keep the region intact, and the reward chemicals reduce the friction on their cellular life cycles. All the brain regions rely on mitochondria for energy to function, so the magnesium content in the calming regions determines response to kidney and adrenal secretions that affect the heart, breathing, oxidation, and magnesium stores during stress.
Meditation harnesses and saves magnesium before it’s wasted
A systems biology analysis approach has identified 39 genes that can be regulated by relaxation response practitioners, which may become key knowledge in addition to magnesium treatments for both terrestrial and astronaut regimens.
The authors state, “Systems biology analysis identified histone (HIST1H2BC), calcium channel (CACNA1C) and cytochrome C (CYC1) among top focus hubs of the Long-term Upregulated pathways. These genes have been linked to pathways responsible for energy metabolism, electron transport chain, biological oxidation and insulin secretion. These pathways play central roles in mitochondrial energy mechanics, oxidative phosphorylation and cell aging. …In essence these adaptive responses become markers of what might be called mitochondrial resiliency or mitochondrial reserve capacity. Long-term RR downregulated genes revealed associations with pathways involved in immune response (e.g. IL6, IL10, CCR3, antigen processing and presentation, TCR signaling), apoptosis (e.g. Apoptosis, Ceramide, PML) and stress response (e.g. stress pathway, MTOR). …thus linking psychological stress to deregulated immune function and DNA repair that could be impacted by RR”
Radiation, leaky electrons, DNA deletions. Unnecessarily exhausted engines?
Finally, mitochondrial requirements for magnesium, when met, are one of the most under-recognized aspects of our defense against radiation. The DNA deletions in mitochondria that occur with aging simply occur more rapidly when subjected to radiation, and the result is a similar reduction in efficiency of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, which results in i’s over-activation and excess generation of free radicals.

Upon further reflection, I realize this is a poorly constructed sentence sequence.
The “Best purchase” refers to the magnesium oil ….. NOT the hooker. (She was the 2nd best purchase.)
Thank yew for your patience.

Stucky, I am sooooo very happy for your results.
Magnesium chloride oil is nothing short of a miracle.
Multiple studies were done, back when “scientists” still explored natural substances, not a way to “recreate” them in a laboratory.
Many things like weak bones, arthritis, MS, inflammation, hormone regulation, heart rhythms, and many, many others have become healthy after introducing mag oil to my life.
Here is my story, and every word is true.
My sister has been “cured” of diseases and pain that left her a virtual prisoner of her home, then the worst thing of being cut off the gubment tit and cut cold turkey off over 12 medications – she has no income, the girl couldn’t work in the state she was in and all the doctors would do – on OUR dime – was give her more meds to fix the meds she was on. Until the day they cut her off.
When her meds stopped, she fell into a state of even worse illness and pain, where everything made her sick. She vomited daily the entire time. A couple months after the gubment cut her off, I was at her house (we were putting on a benefit dinner for her step-daughter whom has leukemia) and while we were sitting and working on stuff for the dinner, her fingers started to swell up like sausages. She had eaten a few deviled eggs right before. She, like most people didn’t truly think the food they eat “all the time,” can be toxic to our systems.
Anyway, her fingers were bright red, swollen, hot. I had tried to get her to try mag oil a couple weeks earlier, but she, like most of us, don’t believe health can be found in a non-doctor, age-old, remedy, nor that it could “help” her. Especially when that attitude is combined with her belief that nothing short of some pharmaceutical magic pill that will fix all our ills.
So, I pulled out my magnesium – I keep roll on bottles of it in my purse – and rubbed it on one finger (wanted to make sure it didn’t make things worse, I had never tried it on something like that before then), and before our very eyes, the swelling in that finger went down.
At that point she literally hurt all over, all her joints, her head, her back, literally all over. I really believed I was going to lose my sister altogether, she was going downhill so very fast.
After the success in her finger, she rubbed it all over both hands and both feet, and her knee that was operated on a couple years back and still not fully recovered.
Long (too late) story short, she awoke the next morning not nauseous, and did not get sick that day, nor the next, nor the next. Six months later she has lost over 75 pounds, she has virtually NO pain, anywhere, she is walking everyday and her attitude is the most rational I’ve seen her in decades.
From magnesium oil, sunshine, walking, and less crap food. But I firmly believe, we owe her life to mag oil.
As if that weren’t enough, daily (or near daily) use has brought us:
NO more hot flashes. Gone, poof. From peri-menopausal to nothing. It is fucking FABULOUS.
My feet and hands have lost 10 years of age.
It is working better on my face wrinkles (way too much worry, way too much sun, way too much fun, I’ve earned my wrinkles, but hate them nonetheless), than Murad’s expensive face system.
My beginning arthritis is gone, poof.
My carpal tunnel, overextended knee pain, TMJ (really, neck but results in TMJ), GONE.
These are things I’ve been fighting for YEARS. GONE.
God bless magnesium oil
and bless you Stuck for writing this.
Teresa,
I am so glad you decided to share your story here also.
Maybe our posts will seriously help someone here. How cool would that be? Very!!!
I’m ordering a case of that shit.
Will it work on my penis ?
Dave L
Is your nephew going to move in with you now that he has been fired by the Flyers?
“Will it work on my penis ?” ………… DaveL
Yes. However, they don’t sell eyedroppers small enough to apply to your shriveled inchworm.
@DaveL
It will probably burn, but won’t leave long-lasting pain.
It does bring blood to the muscles and skin, so I’m sure it could help if you can stand the tingling/burning – it will go away in about 20 minutes.
Ah Stuck, you are such a comedian
For years I had bruising on my right knee. When I shifted the python to the left side the bruising disappeared. It was a miracle!
Glad Stuck has not discovered phosphorous or he would have burnt his foot off by now.
Caio bellas.
I just love Stuck and the miracle cure du jour. I might try some out.
I also love the people that make billions off these products (chiropractors mainly) and the people that buy into them. First, create a crisis, then sell people the cure. It’s always something only they have the cure for also. Nobody ever goes to the lab and gets their magnesium checked. Like in “X files”, “I want to believe”
Obama has used the crisis and cure scam to good effect:

And, just so happens Stuck has a large stake in Marvin’s Magic Magnesium Inc…. just sit back and watch you all your maladies melt away..
Thanks Stuck and T.E ..I’ll give the stuff a whirl.
@AWD, I bought my first bottles for $9 a bottle, free shipping because I was buying olive leaf (for hub’s high blood pressure), oral magnesium – which I still take, and some very reasonably priced, and not full of toxic crap, whey protein.
The only reason that bottle is gone is because I have given it all away, even to complete strangers.
Now I buy it in 64 oz jugs that retail for $39.99 plus $5 shipping.
Yep, Swanson vitamins is getting fucking RICH off it, as am I and Stuck.
I’ve read info written by MDs, one of which is selling more expensive versions of the same thing.
Not all “miracles” are produced in a lab, some actually come from nature.
Not all that want to help others are in it for wealth.
Sad we are such cynical fucks, isn’t it?
TE, what’s your brand recs?
flash, the only recommendation I can give is the Swanson brand, it is the only brand I’ve used. Swanson is one hell of a private supplement company, reasonably priced, independent – and internal – lab certified, and sell lots of the more mainstream supplement brands at decent prices. Stuck provided the link in the article.
I can’t tell you if there is a difference between the Ancient Minerals stuff, said to be from the same seabed as the Swanson stuff, or the other brand Stucky said he ordered. All I know is that it cost less than $10 for me to try it, and other than the apple cider vinegar and MMS, nothing has EVER brought such immediate relief.
There were reviews on Amazon where some guy hated the Swanson brand due to “stinging & burning” and he blamed it on the brand saying the Ancient Minerals brand was superior and caused no such stinging (I’ve seen reviews to the contrary, but whatever), so he would be A.M.
Well, maybe I would too, but at Swanson their brand is less than $0.63 an ounce (using less than an ounce every couple weeks, unbelievable how little I use), vs. Ancient Minerals that ran over $1.88 an ounce (from memory, I may be over a little, I saw it and ran like hell at over $100 a bottle plus pricey shipping).
The cheaper stuff has worked fine for me. Yes, if you apply it to young, smooth, not painful areas of your body you might experience the stinging. You can cut it by using it with an oil, like coconut, almond, even olive oil, or you can wipe it off with a wet washcloth (it is not truly an oil, it dries to a fine layer of salt left on your skin). Or you can buck it up and your skin will not be harmed and the tingling/stinging will go away.
I rub it on my face twice a day, more if my jaw hurts – which it hasn’t in months. I spray it after my shower on damp skin every time and I use it on my feet, ankles, hands and wrists at least once a day. After 20 minutes or so I moisturize with a natural oil, or with one of my dozens of POS over the counter potions and lotions that sucked before I started using mag oil.
AWD and Llpoh can mock all they want, my dad mocks me too.
While he sits alone, in pain, miserable, waiting for the medical community to stop withholding his miracle cure because they have told him for 20 years that nothing but their magic will fix him.
I try to educate him, I try to encourage him, I now see why my mom suffered being married to him, I strive to accept that all I can do is provide info to the ignorant, and let them decide if they want to remain in that state.
Peace and health to you flash.
Oh, one further warning.
Out of the numerous people I’ve given the mag oil to, two of them have ended up with diarrhea/loose stools after their first use.
Both used WAY more than they needed to, a little goes a long way, and both are habitual diet soda drinkers, drinking more than 30 oz of soda a day, one drinks a 2 liter a day.
If it happens don’t apply for a day, then apply sparingly until you learn your own tolerance. That has never been a problem for me, my sister, my son or his girlfriend.
Thanks TE.I’ll give the Swanson a try.
Calm is a good Magnesium supplement. Excellent for leg cramps at night and with melatonin makes a great sleep aid. As TE says above just don’t overdo it, a little goes a long ways.
Bob.
Old people getting excited about their magnesium. A lot of time has passed since the numerous Grateful Dead tours. Boomers…
The best “prescription” my dr. ever wrote me was for magnesium.
Hubby takes it now too and I tell everyone who will listen about it. Most don’t follow thru and actually start taking/using it. I guess they’d rather give their money to Big Pharma.
Stucky, TeresaE, and anyone else who might be curious…
When you have some free time research Hyaluronic Acid, internal moisturizer for skin and joints.
🙂
@Calamity,
You’ll likely have an age spot or achy joint sometime sooner than you think.
Remember the Boomer monkeys when you do. 😉
Maddie’s Mom: Oh, I already have joint problems in my hands from being a waitress. I also have worked with plenty of women who waited tables for 15-25 years and their joints were destroyed. I even knew one woman who had multiple shoulder, wrists, and hand surgeries. I am aware I have a limited time before I have escalated problems.
Clammy is one cranky old gal.
oops, forgot what I was going to write, my wife had a painful knee and her friend sent her a magnesium supplement, she said that took care of the problem. when I pop this mag oil stuff on her, maybe she will stop complaining that I am always on the computer. so, see? it even cures computer widow syndrome.
Two more things, much of the natural Magnesium has been removed from today’s foods and it is harder for the body to absorb or is depleted if you drink alcohol. It seems I will have to double down on the Magnesium.
Bob.
Magnesium chloride oil? I’ll have to check it out. I’m no nutriotionist, but I figure its worth a shot.
I know Mg levels are important in feed we formulate.
Mainstream medicine is good primarily at treating life/death situations. Other than that, they frequently suck balls. In the process, they call anyone else who disagrees, a quack (they’ve read Bernays). Despite good research on simple things like this ( Mg), They ignore it until they can’t. Or in the case of individual doctors, they believe it can’t be true bc they haven’t heard of it (or course, bc they fucking know it all). Then they put a poster boy like Dr. Oz and make it seem like that’s what they’ve been saying all along. Or they say “according to new research”.
It would be funny if it wasn’t sad.
Magnesium citrate/malate/aspartate are the better absorbed. If you want to be sure it will cross the blood brain barrier, get magnesium L-threonate. It has been shown to increase levels in the CSF. If you read the article above then you understand why that is important.
“I just love Stuck and the miracle cure du jour.” ————- AWD
When was the last time I posted any “cure” article? Oh, yeah …. Never.
Either my tingling foot and brown spots went away after ten days of use or, it didn’t. Either Teresa and her sister experienced incredible results – even life-saving – or, it didn’t. Either Maddiess Mom thinks it’s the “best prescription” her doctor has ever written or, it isn’t. I guess we’re all just fucking liars, or deluded sheep. Fuck you.
I guess the fact that there are over 200 published clinical studies documenting the need for magnesium and many examples of miraculous “cures” from the use of this common and inexpensive mineral … well, that just doesn’t fucking matter either.
Change your name to ACD – A Cynical Doctor. Or, ACA, A Cynical Asshole. Stop commenting on my “food” articles. Stick to what you know … posting pics of fat people.
fwiw ….. why I chose Ancient Minerals
“By far the best source of magnesium chloride in the world today is the ancient 250- million-year-old seabed located 2,000 meters beneath the earth’s surface in Europe. Known as the Ancient Zechstein Seabed, it lies deep below the ground, protected from all pollutants, and contains all of the 81 minerals and trace elements that are essential for human health. The dense brine from this ancient sunken sea is pumped up to the surface in Holland, refined to produce pure magnesium chloride, then concentrated in the form of crystal flakes or thick fluid and sold under the “Ancient Minerals” label.”

I sincerely doubt that a bottle of miracle cure could fuck one up near as completely and totally as asshats masquerading as health care professionals manage to do on a daily basis.
More liver destroying painkiller please..
Fuck all these magnesium stories they ain’t shit. Here is a really magnesium story.
Back in highschool I went to an aviation center through 1984 to get my a&p license. In 83 in powerplant I was given the taskof using a bridgeport 3 axis mill to carve away the area around a supercharger to show the impeller section for new students. The engine was a wright cyclone 1200 hp motor from a ww2 aircraft. The amount of material removed was quiet a lot as the supercharger housing was 3 feet across and prolly 9 inches thick. It took me 2 days of tedious millwork to expose the supercharger impeller and shaft.
Now when done the power plant instructor looked at the job he gave me the old good dog good boy bullshit that a teacher that just gotout of 2 days of tedious millwork. He then commented that I needed to collect all the shavings from the mill as they were EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
Ok Mr Morris I will police thzt shit right up.
So I get on the bus home with a fucking brown garbage bag full of mill curls and dust from this magnesium supercharger. I prolly have less than 4 lbs of actual material but it is bulky due to being chopped up. I carry this shit to the bus stop downtown and meet some guys I know from auto and metalworking. I take out a double big handfull.and put it on the sidewalk and utter those words mostly heard by rednecks before someone gets hurt.
Hey watch this.
I then procede to light this pile with everyone watching.
Ok. Some of you know wtf happened. Most prolly do not. There is a flash approximatly the size of the largest flashbulb in history. It took me 8 years to get hair to grow back on my right arm and there were 5 stupid muthafuckas at the bus stop with flashburned eyes. I saw the outlineof the pile for 5 weeks. For about 3 minutez I could not see shit. 4 hours later it felt like someone had thrown a handful of sand in my eyes. Only my dad ( and his laughter) stopped me from going to the emergency room.
The best part was I still.had most of a garbage bag of that shit left. More stories on request. Strong stomaches required as body parts we damaged.
I have practiced alternative medicine since 1979. All the patients I treated with nutraceuticals were treated at cost. My orthopedic practice was successfully to the point where restoring health, not treating the injured, was non-profit.
Yes, magnesium can be good for your penis and for the female genitalia as well. In those that are severely deficient, a myers COCKTAIL, an IV infusion of magnesium along with other micro-nutrients (B6, C, B-12, etc.) often would result in vasodialtion of the pelvis. It was not uncommon for the occasional erection in male patients, and for women to comment on “How attractive you look today.” More than 300 enzyme systems are affected by this mineral. As a previous respondent wrote, Mg has difficulty passing the blood brain barrier. The threonate form is superior for this purpose. For those interested in the neurological benefits, add 10 mg. of lithium orotate and krill oil.
penis aside, will it work for arthuritis?
I’ve got a shit ton of Mag. Sulfate in the lab, I wonder if that would work….
I have no tingling in the extremities, no ringing in the ears, I’m not particularly fat and my dick still works. I credit all the dope I smoked, mushrooms and peyote consumed and LSD blotter acid I sucked on, so many years ago.
Spin,
Just ordered some mag L-threonate today.
Better for my boomer monkey mind perhaps.
My only experience with magnesium was with incendiaries and tracers….
Maybe those old fucks figured out something about that milk of magnesia crap.
Gubmint Cheese says, “Maybe those old fucks figured out something about that milk of magnesia crap.”
Whoa, dude! I haven’t seen that shit in years. Is it sold next to Carter’s little liver pills?
PS, My mom made me take it for unknown reasons; I can still remember how it tasted. It wasn’t that bad, sort of like drinking chalk, ground up and mixed with water, sugar and corn starch.
TPC
Mag sulfate works wonders for nightshade vegtables; two tablespoon per gallon.
Teresa, I would welcome a complete post by you on the topic of nutraceuticals. You clearly have some critical thinking skills and have no doubt done some research. I’d love to know what sites you trust for info on what treats what and how much to use, etc.
Thanks to both you and Stucky!
I_S
I meant to write rheumatoid arthritis, is it good for that?
@Calamity, girl, for goodness sakes the pain in your hands WOULD be helped with the magnesium oil. And I’m not a boomer girl, neither is my son, our modern world and modern jobs are harming us earlier and earlier. Take it from someone that worked in a factory, and as a waitress, and a data entry clerk, earlier to help your bones & joints is much better than later.
Mag supplements taken internally are very helpful, but there is a BIG problem for most of us though.
Our intestines and stomach do NOT have the ability to fully break down and gain the full dose, especially if we eat an American diet high in carbs and sugar and full of pharmaceuticals, so most of us. Which means when we take a supplement that contains 500 mg (or whatever), we do NOT absorb all 500 mg. In some cases – especially if you are already deficient – your body might be lucky to absorb 25% of you put in your mouth.
I started taking mag supplements years ago, and while I DID experience benefits (hence my continuing to take them, I don’t waste my time as a box full of supplements attest, no results after a couple months and I move on), they were only “good,” did help with the primary reason I started it (menstrual and intestinal), but did not much for my daily (growing, getting old ain’t for sissies) aches, pains, hot flashes (did cut down, but I still had a few a week).
It wasn’t until I started using it daily and topically that all the additional benefits kicked in.
We seem to think our skin is a “barrier,” when in reality I have learned that our skin absorbs (directly into our bloodstream and muscles) nearly EVERYTHING we put on it.
Flip over that bottle of Jergen’s, or sunblock, or Deep Woods Off, and find out the TOXINS that you slathering all over your skin and loved ones.
Do you know that those chemicals are NOT always required to be tested? And that we humans are synthesizing over 4000 NEW chems a day?
What we think of as “safe” and “helpful” are, in many cases, neither. A lot of it may actually be harmful and toxic. With the sheer quantity of new chemicals being created, there is NO way to know until it is WAY too late.
Even if you are taking mag orally, I beg you to try it topically. Ok, I won’t beg, I’m trying to develop a Zen attitude about trying to get people to help themselves. If you want to live in pain, feel like shit and visit your doctor for meds to keep you in that state, then by all means, do NOT try it. Shit, feeling better might just blow your mind as your doc says your situation is “incurable.”
Failing that, at least read a couple books written by MDs on the subject. The info is there, you just have to dig past the pharmaceutical companies bullshit to find it.
Look, I’ve seen enough marketing to call & know bullshit when I see it. When I first read about mag oil, then saw the Ancient Minerals price, I had HUGE doubts, but after buying it (cheaply), I’m a firm believer
@juan, nearly everyone that has tried it has experienced some immediate relief.
With more advanced arthritis, or with issues that took years to manifest, or have been simmering for years (injuries, old surgeries, etc), it takes longer.
My dad seems to think that because you take an aspirin and your headache/fever is tamped down, that it works miraculously, life just doesn’t work that way and covering up pain/infection is not healing.
If your body took months or YEARS to develop the aches and pains, odds are good it will take time to make it better.
Although my arthritis was confined to my wrists (I was supposed to have carpal tunnel surgery and opted out, kinda fixing it myself, and that was 20 years ago) and some knuckles (along with an injured knee and destroyed neck), it ached constantly especially when doing data-entry, or stirring a pot, or painting, or weed whacking, or anything where I was using my hands.
Now, the background pain is gone and if I’m using the joints and they start to hurt the mag oil cuts the pain dramatically.
My sister was being treated for rheumatoid arthritis, and now her hands are turning beautiful again, instead of into the claws she was developing as her joints swelled and her tendons and muscles contracted/inflamed
Try it juan, how could it hurt?
I_S, thank you, I’ve thought about it but the bullies at the FDA scare the shit out of me. Technically, telling you that it works for any illness/health reason is illegal and I can be shut up for it. So, I hesitate.
Telling people that true health, the reduction/removal of pain and other health issues can be fixed outside of the Merck labs and FDA control, is treasonous. Just look what the FDA did to Zicam (zinc), they don’t want us healthy, they want us in line at the doc for shots and pills.
Follow the dollars, all you have to do is follow the dollars.
Mother Teresa
You are doing a GREAT service taking so much time to explain Mg benefits.
Amazing … the resistance. Jeebus. I bought my first 8-oz. bottle of Life-flo (the Zechstein stuff) from the Vitamin Shop for TEN BUCKS.
You can lead a horse to water, but if the horse don’t wanna spent ten bucks to see it it’ll get well … well, fuckit. Their loss, not ours.
Avalon ordered our first bottle of magnesium oil this morning.
Does it get rid of belly fat?
juan,
My dh has had RA for about 15 years. He has been on methotrexate since his diagnosis and Humira was added about 13 years ago.
About 5 yrs. ago I got him started on magnesium after my dr. told me to take it.
A couple of years ago, he took himself off the Humira and did fine for 5 months (although I think the dr. freaked out a little…ha! and the specialty pharmacy supplying the drug really didn’t like it, HAHAHA!!! it got him a call from their nurse and a 30-minute “chat” ;-))
Now, with his doctor’s approval, he takes Humira once a month instead of twice a month and his dosage of methotrexate has been reduced by half. The rheumatologist refers to him at his “star” patient.
We can’t know for sure if the magnesium has played any role in this whatsoever, but It certainly hasn’t hurt and I know it is helping him in ways that may not even be noticed.
About a year ago, he also added curcumin, which is anti-inflammatory, to his RA arsenal, along with krill oil and SAMe.
ymmv 🙂
“Does it get rid of belly fat?” ——- Admin
I don’t think so.
I tried it on my moobs. They’re still there. But …. they are very very soft.
TeresaE,
Couldn’t agree more about the topical magnesium. If anyone doubts, just soak in a bath with good ol’ Epsom salts. Or put it in a footbath. Feel that muscle tension just melt away. I use the gel form of Ancient Minerals and yes, I have a little tingle from it. No biggie, just rinse or shower it off.
If I have a muscle tension headache, I just rub some magnesium gel and maybe some arnica gel into those tense areas…headache gone! And my liver thanks me for not swallowing any ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
There are so many ways to supplement with magnesium, I just pick and choose what suits my mood. Soak in it, sip it, swallow it or slather it. It’s all good!
Naysayers???
I just chuckle. ;))
@Admin, I’ve read a few studies that stated the “optimal” amount of magnesium assists in your body flushing out fat and toxins.
As to “optimal,” I can’t answer that because it truly depends on the person, their diet, their absorption levels.
I’ve noticed that I’m dropping pounds, but my clothes are fitting looser and looser, so something – other than my less than 10 minutes exercise – is working.
Nearly every process in our bodies can be traced back to having some sort of dependency on magnesium, truly the building block of life.
Stuck, you are so right, it kinda hurts me to walk around and see people that could be helped for pennies REFUSE to even try. Then I realize that these people are going to be first in line to die off when TSHTF, so I’ve just started paying attention to their assets, I’m thinking a life as a roaming healer financed by salvage and sale is looking pretty good.
